Melinda Gates realised her marriage to Bill Gates was in jeopardy in 2019 after revelations about her then-husband’s association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Melinda, 60, details the period in her new memoir, ‘The Next Day’, describing how she began suffering nightmares and quickly came to understand they were connected to the unravelling state of her relationship. At the time, scrutiny was mounting over Bill’s reported ties to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and federal conspiracy charges. The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
